Speaker 1: Hey everybody, Welcome back to the Betting Pros NFL podcast,
Speaker 1: brought to you by bet MGM. I'm your host, Dan Harris.
Speaker 1: You can find me on Twitter at Dan Harris eighty.
Speaker 1: It is time to break down some of our favorite
Speaker 1: and least favorite bets for the week sixteen NFL Slate.
Speaker 1: With me to talk about it all is Sean Green,
Speaker 1: the co creator and co host of the Sports Gambling Podcast.
Speaker 1: You can find him on Twitter at Sean T. Green. Shawn,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming back on the show. How you doing,
Speaker 1: I'm doing awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me on. Really looking forward to
Speaker 2: the bonus Saturday games. I know my wife is thrilled
Speaker 2: to find out that nine hours of football on Saturday
Speaker 2: and Sunday right before the holidays. So yeah, getting stoned here.
Speaker 1: It's the best. And it was a little annoying that
Speaker 1: they didn't have any last weekend because the only Saturday,
Speaker 1: the only college football game was Army Navy, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, you know there was eight total
Speaker 2: passes in that game. I mean I watched it, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it would have been nice if they started Saturday games
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 1: I know, I feel like they used to him maybe
Speaker 1: making that up but anyway, yes, I love it. Three games.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be great and we're gonna get into all
Speaker 1: of it. But before we do, we have to do
Speaker 1: the full Monty where we give everything that happened last week,
Speaker 1: and it was not that pretty. I missed on all
Speaker 1: three of my best bets, which included the Jaguars Raiders
Speaker 1: over forty five, the Eagles and the Redskins under thirty
Speaker 1: nine and the Browns laying three did the Cardinals. I
Speaker 1: did hit on my top prop, which was Chris Carson
Speaker 1: over one hundred and twenty five rushing yards and that
Speaker 1: was at plus two ten, So hopefully we made up
Speaker 1: for it there. As for our guest Andrew Kayley, he
Speaker 1: hit on the Panther Seahawks over forty eight and a half,
Speaker 1: but he lost in terrible fashion with the Eagles laying
Speaker 1: four and a half to the Redskins. He also lost
Speaker 1: on his top prop, Jarvis Landry over forty six and
Speaker 1: a half yards, and he also lost on the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: laying six and a half to the Panthers. So in
Speaker 1: that one, you know, Andrew really could have had a
Speaker 1: nice week last week. He got a little unlucky there
Speaker 1: at the end, he.
Speaker 2: Had the Redskins they're getting four and a half, because
Speaker 2: that's oh my gosh, you're right some touchdown.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, actually no, you know what, I completely
Speaker 1: have it backwards. You're absolutely right, he hit on the
Speaker 1: Eagles laing four and a half. I had as the Redskins,
Speaker 1: but now that I'm looking at my notes, he had
Speaker 1: the Eagles. So he got totally lucky with that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not like that. Yes, obviously if you weren't paying dungeon.
Speaker 1: I by the way, I didn't have it on the
Speaker 1: on one of my best bets, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: bettingpros dot com a lot, you know, over one hundred
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote experts we put in our picks
Speaker 1: each week, and I had the Redskins getting six before
Speaker 1: the line moved down. So that was a real bummer
Speaker 1: for me because I've put several units on that one.
Speaker 1: But there were a bunch of crazy endings like that,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure people with the money line of course,
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers over the Falcons and everything
Speaker 1: like that. It was just it was a nutty week.
Speaker 1: So hopefully this week will be a little a little tighter.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we are going to start as we always do,
Speaker 1: with pick six, where Sean and I are each gonna
Speaker 1: give three of our best bets, either against this or
Speaker 1: on the over under. So Sean, you can start us off.
Speaker 1: What's your number one pick?
Speaker 2: My number one pick. I'm going to the Bucks game
Speaker 2: squaring off against the Texans. Give me the Tampa Bay
Speaker 2: Bucks plus three. I know they are without Mike Evans
Speaker 2: and Godwin, which really kind of killed me in a fantasy,
Speaker 2: but James Winston Man, he is just throwing the ball
Speaker 2: all around. I love kind of the offense I'm seeing
Speaker 2: out of this team. And you know, when it comes
Speaker 2: to betting the Texans, whether you're on or off. To me,
Speaker 2: the easiest way to handicap them is does the opposing
Speaker 2: team have a pass rush? Now, this Tampa Bay Bucks team,
Speaker 2: the defense isn't amazing, but Shaq Barrett sixteen and a
Speaker 2: half sacks, I think that's enough to carry them to
Speaker 2: get some pressure to rattle this Texans team. And it's
Speaker 2: also a great look ahead spot for the Texans. I
Speaker 2: know they need this game, but I could definitely see
Speaker 2: them looking ahead to the final matchup against the Titans
Speaker 2: at home in Houston and a non conference road game.
Speaker 2: I always like going against those kind of teams, and
Speaker 2: Jamis and the Bucks really feel like they're playing for something.
Speaker 2: They got paramut involved, they got the tight ends going
Speaker 2: last week. Granted Detroit's defense not as good, but I
Speaker 2: think at home on the short week, catching three points
Speaker 2: give it the Tampa Bay Bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little nervous about it. I don't really
Speaker 1: know what to do with this game. I talked about
Speaker 1: it on Monday, you know on Mondays. You've been on
Speaker 1: the Monday Show a couple of times already. We do
Speaker 1: like we look at every game on the slate and
Speaker 1: we give our initial impressions that when the line, you know,
Speaker 1: had moved significantly. I believe it was the Texans laying
Speaker 1: one originally and it had moved to a settled where
Speaker 1: it is now to three. And he was sort of
Speaker 1: echoing what you've been saying in that. You know, when
Speaker 1: the public looks at this game from Afar, you're like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the Texans, they beat the Titans. They could
Speaker 1: have won that game, you know, going away a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know they turned the ball over a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and you know they have the chance now to really
Speaker 1: put this away, and you think that they're just gonna
Speaker 1: maybe stomp all over the Bucks, but in the end,
Speaker 1: that's not usually the way it works. It's sort of
Speaker 1: the classic let down and look ahead game here that
Speaker 1: we've got. Because they've got the Titans on two the
Speaker 1: last three weeks here, and they're going to face them
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. I would ordinarily be with you, and
Speaker 1: the Bucks have been one of sort of the sharp's
Speaker 1: favorite teams right over the last several weeks. They've been
Speaker 1: all over them. They've been capitalizing on the fact that
Speaker 1: they've been undervalued in the market. Really though, I mean
Speaker 1: Brashad Perriman is the number one wide receiver at this point.
Speaker 1: And don't even forget man like Scottie Miller, he's not
Speaker 1: a bad player, and he's out for this game. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be Justin Watson, who I actually like as sort
Speaker 1: of you know, a project and everything like that. But
Speaker 1: don't you get a little bit worried about the fact that,
Speaker 1: you know, as good as James has been playing and
Speaker 1: as much as he's gonna throw and all of that, that, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they even have the weapons to
Speaker 1: be able to put up the points necessary to cover
Speaker 1: that spread.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, certainly that's a concern, but again, he's
Speaker 2: kind you know, Winston coming off back to back games
Speaker 2: where he's thrown for over four hundred and fifty yards
Speaker 2: and that's the first time that's happened in NFL history.
Speaker 2: So that's a bit. I mean, that's an anomaly, and
Speaker 2: maybe there's some regrets rush in there and losing the targets. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I just like what I've seen out of this
Speaker 2: Bucks team. There's always this sneaky couple teams at the
Speaker 2: end that are eliminated from playoff contention, but they're trying
Speaker 2: to get some momentum to roll it into next year.
Speaker 2: Kind of What else really got me going was the
Speaker 2: amount of public action on the Texans. Seems like everyone
Speaker 2: is hammering the Texans, laying the three as a road favorite.
Speaker 2: So that was kind of the deciding factor in selecting
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fading the public is almost always a winning strategy. Again,
Speaker 1: I don't hate it, It's just not a game where
Speaker 1: I feel all that comfortable either way. I would like
Speaker 1: the Bucks ordinarily. Just the lack of weapons makes me
Speaker 1: a little nervous, So it's probably a game I'm gonna
Speaker 1: stay away from. I am gonna get involved on a
Speaker 1: game which you may stay away from because it is
Speaker 1: not pretty, and that is the Jets getting three from
Speaker 1: the Steelers. So I want this to get to three
Speaker 1: and a half, all right. The viig is a little
Speaker 1: inflated right now in the three, so I'm just hoping
Speaker 1: that eventually goes although there is right now our contenenc
Speaker 1: outs are three, but there's a two and a half
Speaker 1: out there from bet MGM, actually our sponsor, so I'm
Speaker 1: not sure it's gonna get to three and a half.
Speaker 1: But even at three, I'm gonna take it. This is
Speaker 1: gonna sound sort of silly, but I was a tiny
Speaker 1: bit impressed with what I saw from the Jets last
Speaker 1: week against the Ravens. Forget about the defense, all right,
Speaker 1: It's almost impossible to stop Lamar Jackson whenever it's decent condictions.
Speaker 1: It's harder to stop him on a Thursday when the
Speaker 1: defense has little time to recover and prepare, and it's
Speaker 1: even harder when you're down Quinn Williams and Jamal Adams.
Speaker 1: But the offense I kind of expected to be completely
Speaker 1: shut down by the Ravens, who have been playing much
Speaker 1: better defensively over the last several weeks, and they really weren't.
Speaker 1: They moved the ball well. Sam Darnold dealt with not
Speaker 1: having a lot of time that he had the critical turnovers,
Speaker 1: of course, but they easily could have put up a
Speaker 1: few more points and Le'Veon Bell ran for a season
Speaker 1: high in yards. But I don't want to I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be careful here. I don't want to cast the spursions
Speaker 1: on anyone, okay, but to me as a Jets fan
Speaker 1: and just somebody watching, he looks completely uninterested in playing football,
Speaker 1: particularly in that game, right. I mean, there were a
Speaker 1: bunch of players where he's clearly the first, maybe the
Speaker 1: second read on the screen pass, and he's legitimately just
Speaker 1: kind of like walking or slowly jogging. You see Darnald
Speaker 1: look at him, and you're like, oh, all right, I've
Speaker 1: guess I gotta go to my next read because he's
Speaker 1: just not even putting in heavy air. That's not gonna
Speaker 1: be the case this week. Okay, he's playing his old team,
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I don't mean the revenge game where he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a huge game, but I think that he's
Speaker 1: one of still the more talented backs in the league.
Speaker 1: He's not always motivated, and I just think he's going
Speaker 1: to be motivated. So I think, at least unlike those
Speaker 1: types of plays, he's gonna run hard and try to
Speaker 1: get open that the Steelers they have an elite defense.
Speaker 1: But I do think that playing the Ravens, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: whose defense has also been great, is gonna help Darnld
Speaker 1: deal with that. I really liked seeing him get jameson
Speaker 1: Crowder back involved, so he could, you know, need him
Speaker 1: on these shorter passes, and defensively for the Jets, you
Speaker 1: know they can stop the run. They obviously last weekend
Speaker 1: was terrible. But on Thursday, I mean, but I mean,
Speaker 1: who cares. They're gonna get Jamal Adams back here. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. I kind of thought he'd be shut down,
Speaker 1: but there was word out today he is going to play.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Williams is gonna play too, some more conventional offense
Speaker 1: for them. They're coming off that mini BI and if
Speaker 1: they are able to shut down the run, you can
Speaker 1: shut down James Connor, then you're left with Duck Hodges.
Speaker 1: And even if Smith Schuster comes back here, it sounds
Speaker 1: like he's also trending in the right direction. It's just
Speaker 1: not the type of game to fear. I mean, you
Speaker 1: saw last week against Buffalo the cornerbacks for the Jets
Speaker 1: have actually played a little better in the end. I
Speaker 1: don't just think the Steelers are all that good. They
Speaker 1: have a good defense, but their offense is really terrible.
Speaker 1: At a very tough game on Sunday night, They've got
Speaker 1: no faith in their offense. It reminds me a little
Speaker 1: bit of like the Bears before Trubisky got a little
Speaker 1: bit hot. Like if the Jets come out and they
Speaker 1: can score on their opening drive and they get to
Speaker 1: a lead, particularly touch on, I feel like you could
Speaker 1: just look at the Steelers and see that entire team
Speaker 1: wilt be like, all right, we gave up a touchdown now,
Speaker 1: so right.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll.
Speaker 1: Probably drop a little bit on the money line too here,
Speaker 1: But with the three, if I can get three and
Speaker 1: a half, I'm waiting for it. I'm begging for it.
Speaker 1: But even with the three, I'm gonna take it here.
Speaker 1: I think the Jets actually win this game at home
Speaker 1: on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you make a compelling case for the Jets,
Speaker 2: and that's sometimes hard to do.
Speaker 1: But you're right, I as a fan, it's nearly impossible
Speaker 1: to do. Leave me, I've been beaten down.
Speaker 2: I know. I know their offense kind of was clicking
Speaker 2: there at times because I actually tease them up to
Speaker 2: twenty two and so I actually hit on that leg
Speaker 2: of the teas. So yeah, I know what you're saying, like,
Speaker 2: and it did feel like Darnold left a couple plays
Speaker 2: out there. Maybe he converts on some of those at home.
Speaker 2: I think you know, one of the things that if
Speaker 2: you're back in the Steelers you have to be concerned about,
Speaker 2: is Duck Hodges as a road favorite. Are we really
Speaker 2: ready to dub him as a three point road favorite.
Speaker 2: We've seen this before where these young qbs come in,
Speaker 2: they're coached up, they don't have a lot of film
Speaker 2: on them. They succeed early for two, three, maybe even
Speaker 2: four games, and then the kind of the film gets
Speaker 2: out on them, they know how to play them, and
Speaker 2: then it kind of falls apart. That certainly could be
Speaker 2: a situation here. Yeah. And as far as Le'Veon Bell
Speaker 2: not being interested in football, I mean, what would give
Speaker 2: you that idea? The fact that he was out on
Speaker 2: a game day that same evening where he didn't play
Speaker 2: because he was sick, and he bowled at two fifty
Speaker 2: one and then.
Speaker 1: It's a two fifty one. I mean, he's got some
Speaker 1: effort going on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. And then they asked him about it
Speaker 2: and he goes, well, I think it's impressive that I
Speaker 2: bowled two fifty one with the flu. That is the
Speaker 2: san to the New York media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with that. Again, you know, I've
Speaker 1: watched the jetskin but on Sunday, you know what we
Speaker 1: do with Mike teg Lear and I do a fancy
Speaker 1: podcast on Sunday night. So I'm watching trying to watch
Speaker 1: all the games. I'm not just watching the Jets, my
Speaker 1: home team. This was on Thursday night, one of the
Speaker 1: few games that I could watch without any other distractions,
Speaker 1: And oh my god, just how little he seemed to
Speaker 1: really be putting in that effort. Again, there were plays
Speaker 1: you looked Darnold legitimately looked at him rolling up for
Speaker 1: a screen pass as if that's the first read. And
Speaker 1: there's a guy in his vicinity and he's walking like
Speaker 1: he just had nothing. So look, both sides are going
Speaker 1: to be motivated to be fair the Steelers are going
Speaker 1: to be up for this game to try to stop Belle.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but really, in the end, they need to
Speaker 1: win to get into the playoffs. Here, I get you
Speaker 1: mentioned it with Duck Hodges. I do not trust them,
Speaker 1: you know, I think the book is out on him.
Speaker 1: I think the Jets are going to take away the
Speaker 1: run as is their strength. I think they're gonna put
Speaker 1: it on Hodges. And you know, Donald's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: running for his life. But you know, his quote unquote
Speaker 1: success against the Ravens on Thursday made me feel a
Speaker 1: little more comfortable. All right, Look, we have completely reached
Speaker 1: our quota. I'm talking about the Jets right now. So
Speaker 1: let's move on to your second pick. What do you have?
Speaker 2: Give me the Green Bay Packers in Minnesota catching five
Speaker 2: and a half points. Now, this Green Bay team, it's
Speaker 2: it's weird. They're kind of like the NFC version of
Speaker 2: the Patriots, where they keep winning games. But when you
Speaker 2: watch them, you're like, are they good? They're not that good?
Speaker 2: Why are they get But they're winning games, so they're
Speaker 2: they're hard to fade. I'm riding them catching five and
Speaker 2: a half points. I mean, the one Staton trend that
Speaker 2: jumps out of you is Kirk Cousins. He's oh and
Speaker 2: eight on Monday Night football, oh and eight. And then
Speaker 2: you look at some of the injuries that the Vikings
Speaker 2: are dealing with. It doesn't look like Dalvin Cook is
Speaker 2: gonna play Madison. He's banged up. It looks like it's
Speaker 2: gonna be down to boone. And you've seen the success
Speaker 2: for Kirk Cousins has come off the play action, right,
Speaker 2: they get Dalvin Cook going, they get some screen games
Speaker 2: going and or you know, the screen game going, and
Speaker 2: then they kind of do play action off that to
Speaker 2: kind of play to his strength. I think Green Bay's
Speaker 2: in a good position here. They're highly motivated. I mean
Speaker 2: this is again they're they're right in the mix to
Speaker 2: you know, they could even be They're gonna run here
Speaker 2: at the one of the two seed Aaron Rodgers. While
Speaker 2: he's not putting up amazing numbers, they're just winning games.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried about the second half because
Speaker 2: that is kind of been a struggle for the Packers.
Speaker 2: But I think they show up. I think they show
Speaker 2: up in Minnesota and there really is something to this
Speaker 2: monkey on Kirk Cousin's back and O and eight Monday
Speaker 2: Night Football and be and O in eight. You know,
Speaker 2: just not succeeding in prime time, I think is a
Speaker 2: real thing. And I just love the Packers getting this
Speaker 2: many points.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of points. It was at four and
Speaker 1: a half, so the money obviously came in here on
Speaker 1: the Vikings to push it. It's a weird game for me, man,
Speaker 1: I mean you mentioned about the running backs. Everything I'm
Speaker 1: reading sounds like both Cook and Madison are going missed
Speaker 1: this game. And you know, uh, you know my guy,
Speaker 1: you know, Bobby Sylvester, who I work with over at
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros. He loves Mike Boone. It's like one of
Speaker 1: his favorite players. I think he's talented too. But he's
Speaker 1: not Cook and he's not Madison. So it certainly is
Speaker 1: going to be something. You know, the Cousins saying, look,
Speaker 1: he played well on I think it was Monday Night
Speaker 1: Football against the Seahawks. So I don't want to I
Speaker 1: don't want to knock the guy too much. He's played
Speaker 1: on some bad teams, but I get it. The thing is,
Speaker 1: I think in the end, the Vikings probably have almost
Speaker 1: nothing to play for here is I mean if the
Speaker 1: Ram I believe, if the Rams lose on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: they're favored to lose against the forty nine Ers, then
Speaker 1: the Rams I believe, are eliminated from playoff contention. If
Speaker 1: I have that right, Yeah, And if so right, and
Speaker 1: if so, the Vikings are in and they could technically
Speaker 1: win the division. But I think the Packers have to
Speaker 1: lose both their last two games. I believe I.
Speaker 2: Should be wrong, So they have to. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: they have to beat the Packers obviously, and then and
Speaker 2: then they have to win and Packers have to lose
Speaker 2: the following one. And the Packers have just consistently done
Speaker 2: well in the division forty nine and thirty against the
Speaker 2: spreading divisional game since two thousand and six. Now, you
Speaker 2: know that's going way back. But I do think there
Speaker 2: is kind of a mental edge where a lot of
Speaker 2: teams go into Minnesota, they play in that spaceship like Dome,
Speaker 2: they get kind of intimidated that the crowd noise gets
Speaker 2: to them. I don't see that rattling this Packers team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. Again, this is a game
Speaker 1: where sort of I'm you know, you make good points.
Speaker 1: I like the analysis I don't go on the other side,
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, five and a half is a
Speaker 1: crazy spread, like yeah, right, correct, yeah, no, I completely agree.
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings are going to win. I just
Speaker 1: don't know whether or not they're going to cover, so
Speaker 1: I think it's fair. But yeah, you know you mentioned it.
Speaker 1: Packards are just kind of bugging me, man, because they're
Speaker 1: not that good. They don't play that well, they don't
Speaker 1: have a killer instinct when they get out ahead, but
Speaker 1: they somehow keep winning it they are motivated. Again. I
Speaker 1: talked on Monday about this with Dave Cochin, which is
Speaker 1: sort of like, you know, the motivation of seeding. He
Speaker 1: feels like it's not really a big issue when teams
Speaker 1: playing stuff like that. That's fine, but you know, regardless, it's
Speaker 1: a divisional game, you know. And the one thing I
Speaker 1: think that you can think of a second divisional game
Speaker 1: when teams like this have played each other obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: for several years. Still got Aaron Rodgers and you had
Speaker 1: cousins last year. They know each other pretty well. I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a game that's probably going
Speaker 1: to play close. So with that getting five and a
Speaker 1: half points, I really I have no issue with it
Speaker 1: other than the fact that, man, the Packers make me
Speaker 1: mad because I feel like I don't really have a
Speaker 1: good read on them. I'm going to go with an
Speaker 1: over under for my second pick, and that's the exciting
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Dolphins over forty six and a half,
Speaker 1: mainly because I feel like we need some reason to
Speaker 1: watch this game at this point, so I gotta go on.
Speaker 1: The Bengals probably have the top seed in the draft
Speaker 1: locked up, so they can just go forward and not
Speaker 1: have to worry about making sure they lose to lock
Speaker 1: up that pick. Joe Mixon has been running incredibly well.
Speaker 1: He did pop up on the INDO Report today. Yeah
Speaker 1: I'm reading, Yeah, it sounds minor. I don't like that
Speaker 1: on a Thursday, but you know, obviously, you know, wait
Speaker 1: and see what that is, because I would not be
Speaker 1: going over if Mixing is out, because he's sort of
Speaker 1: the keys A Hunt thirty six yards against the Patriots
Speaker 1: last week, more than seventy five rushing yards in five
Speaker 1: of the bengals last six games. The Dolphins run defense
Speaker 1: is absolutely terrible. They're allowing nearly one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: one yards per game on the ground, so I think
Speaker 1: the Bengals are easily going to be able to march
Speaker 1: up and down the field. The Dolphins like a true,
Speaker 1: you know, really good cornerback now that Dave and Howard
Speaker 1: is out, so I expect Tyler Boyd to kind of
Speaker 1: get back on track here. And I think against the
Speaker 1: soft defense like this, this is their last chance to
Speaker 1: get a win. Zach Taylor's going to pull out some
Speaker 1: creative plays, and after watching the Giants sort of march
Speaker 1: up and down the field last week, there's a little
Speaker 1: reason for me to think that the Bengals are going
Speaker 1: to struggle to put up points. And on the flip side,
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins are gonna focus more in their
Speaker 1: pass particularly with Devonte Parker. Bengals are absolutely dreadful against
Speaker 1: the pass. They allow an opposing quarterback rating of ninety six,
Speaker 1: a ton of big plays that fits perfectly into what
Speaker 1: Devonte Parker can do. They're oddly good at preventing touchdowns
Speaker 1: in the red zone. They have like a really good
Speaker 1: red zone defense, which makes me a little bit nervous
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at the over But either way, this
Speaker 1: just sort of feels like a game where both offenses
Speaker 1: are going to be able to put up points. There's
Speaker 1: a chance of at least one pick six, if not
Speaker 1: multiple pick six is given who these quarterbacks are. So
Speaker 1: I think the scoring gets up here to push it
Speaker 1: past forty six, I'll take the over on forty six
Speaker 1: and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I hadn't really broken down the total
Speaker 2: in this game, but I really love that angle. This
Speaker 2: Dolphins team. I mean, you look at Fitzpatrick. The guy
Speaker 2: is just scrappy. He's like running, he's getting knocked around,
Speaker 2: and their defense has just been I mean a complete sieve.
Speaker 2: The Jets game was forty three points, but other than that,
Speaker 2: you look at like their past games fifty six points
Speaker 2: total against the against the Giants, sixty eight against the Eagles,
Speaker 2: sixty five against the Browns. Heck, they even got the
Speaker 2: Bills fifty seven total points. Like this, This Miami team
Speaker 2: they've been I mean, they probably only had one under
Speaker 2: there in those past games.
Speaker 1: And don't forget about you know that game against the Jets,
Speaker 1: they were in the red zone every time. They had
Speaker 1: seven field goals, so they easily could have popped that over.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this just strikes me as an over team.
Speaker 1: I have no idea who's gonna win the game. I
Speaker 1: do not have appeal for that spread whatsoever, but I
Speaker 1: feel like getting a little action on it is good,
Speaker 1: and I feel like the over is probably the play.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to your third pick. What
Speaker 1: do you have?
Speaker 2: I like your angle. Hey, I'm gonna be watching this game. Well,
Speaker 2: I gotta figure out some way to bet on it
Speaker 2: without losing my mind.
Speaker 1: Right, let's go over. Let's root for some pick sixes
Speaker 1: and scores.
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, I'll be losing my mind if the Philadelphia
Speaker 2: Eagles do not win this game. A Sunday big Eagles fan,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna try and put away my all my
Speaker 2: biases to my best ability in handicap this game. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I like the Eagles getting one and a half two
Speaker 2: points wherever it ends up closing. I like them as
Speaker 2: a dog. I like them as a home dog. The
Speaker 2: thing here with this Eagles team, everyone looks at their
Speaker 2: defense and they think, oh my god, their defense has
Speaker 2: been horrific. And while you could certainly say that about them,
Speaker 2: I mean again, they let up thirty seven points to
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Their defense is actually being quietly kind of
Speaker 2: decent at home, which is probably the best compliment I
Speaker 2: can give to their defense, but you look at their
Speaker 2: last five games, they're only averaging fourteen point two points
Speaker 2: per game. If you want to look at a game
Speaker 2: where they let up more than seventeen points, you gotta
Speaker 2: go all the way back to September twenty seventh against
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, and this Eagles offense. You watch, or
Speaker 2: I mean watching those last two games, you can see
Speaker 2: Wentz has got a bit of a rhythm with these
Speaker 2: new guys. And I don't know if it was Alshon
Speaker 2: Jeffrey being hurt or Nelson Aguilar being hurt, whatever it
Speaker 2: was bringing in Greg Ward. And again I was touting
Speaker 2: him left and right that you must start Greg Ward
Speaker 2: and your DraftKings lineup. He's only three thousand dollars. I'm
Speaker 2: telling you people, he's gonna have a big game. He
Speaker 2: puts up nineteen point one Fantasy points. Makes me look
Speaker 2: like a genius. But it's just obvious, like the guy
Speaker 2: is making a play on the ball. Boston Scott's coming
Speaker 2: in there, He's making plays on the ball. And as
Speaker 2: much as as a fan as I've critiqued Doug Peterson,
Speaker 2: I think rightly so Doug Peterson seems to get these
Speaker 2: guys up for must win games. You saw it last
Speaker 2: year towards the end that granted, some of that was
Speaker 2: Nick Foles, but even these last two games essentially must
Speaker 2: win games, Gwentz has come up in the clutch there,
Speaker 2: driving him down the fourth quarter. And then finally dak Prescott.
Speaker 2: Dakota Prescott himself, he's banged up. I mean this MRI
Speaker 2: shoulder injury. The Eagles were the spread was up to three,
Speaker 2: and then I think this shoulder injury has is responsible
Speaker 2: for this line movement down back to one and a half,
Speaker 2: and there's got to I think there's something to that.
Speaker 2: He's got an ac joint issue. He's also got an
Speaker 2: issue with his hand there. It's like, I don't know
Speaker 2: how they're describing it, but like a near broken finger.
Speaker 2: I think that could be a real issue for them.
Speaker 2: So I think the I think the injuries. I think
Speaker 2: the mojo that the Eagles have and the fact that
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys are just openly interviewing other coaches and
Speaker 2: appears in Dallas during the biggest week of their season,
Speaker 2: I think I think that's going to have some impact
Speaker 2: on the team.
Speaker 1: First of all, I love getting fantasy involved, because I
Speaker 1: also am a fantasy analyst, So kudos to you on
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I'll be honest, if not for the
Speaker 1: Prescott shoulder injury, I would beyond the Cowboys. I just
Speaker 1: you know, for me, man, I don't know, dude, like
Speaker 1: I get that the Eagles. Kudos to the Eagles for
Speaker 1: continuing to somehow pull out these games where you know
Speaker 1: they have nothing going on at wide receiver. I mean
Speaker 1: it's legitimately, Greg Ward. I mean, are think a Whiteside
Speaker 1: is banged up to you?
Speaker 2: I know, I mean, yeah, he just showed up with
Speaker 2: a foot injury. It's crazy to think Carson Wentz last week.
Speaker 2: The receivers they had on their active fifty three day
Speaker 2: roster had a combined twenty catches in their career to
Speaker 2: start the game. So yeah, there's two ways to look
Speaker 2: at it. It's one way to look at it as
Speaker 2: an optimist is oh my god, they're coming from behind,
Speaker 2: they're coming up. They're winning these most games in clutch situations.
Speaker 2: The other way is, oh my god, they let the
Speaker 2: Redskins and the Giants get onto these big leads. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna look at it at the other way, and I
Speaker 2: think the And that's to my angle of like the
Speaker 2: defense at home, and the defense looked horrible in the
Speaker 2: first half of the Giants, but they shut him out
Speaker 2: in the second half and seventeen points. I mean, if
Speaker 2: the Eagles can't put up twenty one to beat him,
Speaker 2: then they certainly don't deserve to win. But I think
Speaker 2: that's kind of the heart of my angle is that
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, this defense, as hot and cold as
Speaker 2: has been, they do seem to show up at home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think offensively, you're probably gonna see a
Speaker 1: whole lot of zach Ertz as you see generally speaking anyway,
Speaker 1: because I think with the tight end you can attack
Speaker 1: the Cowboys a little bit. I'm still nervous about it.
Speaker 1: I need to do some more reading. If Prescott is
Speaker 1: limited and again his injury, you know, the finger stuff
Speaker 1: he's been playing through now, I think for two weeks,
Speaker 1: so I think he's okay. The shoulder thing sounds legitimate, man,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's not like a poo poo oh.
Speaker 1: Look he's popping up like this is legitimate. It sounds
Speaker 1: relatively serious. So it's something where I'm a little nervous
Speaker 1: about it. If I felt confident in Prescott. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I think I'd go with the Cowboys because I you know, again,
Speaker 1: I take you mentioned it goes one of two ways,
Speaker 1: and I probably look at it the other end, which is,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you could have easily lost to both
Speaker 1: the Giants the red Skins, and they.
Speaker 2: Did lose to the Dolphins. So again, it certainly a
Speaker 2: good case there yeah to be made.
Speaker 1: But again it's a divisional game. You never know, and
Speaker 1: you know, putting your faith in Jason Garrett is rarely
Speaker 1: a winning proposition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason Garrett as a road favorite in a must
Speaker 2: win game, that's also pretty scary.
Speaker 1: I think for the most part, I'm just avoiding all
Speaker 1: the games that you picked because I'm terrified of them. Instead,
Speaker 1: I will pick great matchups like the Jets getting three,
Speaker 1: and I'll go with another underdog for my third pick,
Speaker 1: and that's the Cardinals getting nine and a half from
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. So the Seahawks are eleven and three, right,
Speaker 1: they could easily be end up the number one seed
Speaker 1: in the NFC. They have a point differential of plus
Speaker 1: twenty six that is the same as the Rams, slightly
Speaker 1: more than the Bucks, slightly more than the Chargers and
Speaker 1: slightly more than the Eagles. They won by more than
Speaker 1: eight points one time this season, one time in their
Speaker 1: eleven wins out That one time was against these very
Speaker 1: same Cardinals, So that is something I don't really see
Speaker 1: the game coming out like that. Nine and a half.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty big number, Okay. I mean, and I
Speaker 1: faded the Cardinals last week against the Browns. That was
Speaker 1: a mistake obviously, and it's not like I'm buying the
Speaker 1: Cardinals suddenly, but I do think they can move the
Speaker 1: ball here against the Seahawks. As he saw last week,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray does pretty well when he doesn't have to
Speaker 1: deal with pressure, and the Seahawks rarely get pressure on
Speaker 1: the opposing quarterback. They're one of the worst in the
Speaker 1: league at that and that's just not the way they
Speaker 1: play defense at this point. And their defense, by the way,
Speaker 1: it's pretty decimated at this point. We know Caandre Diggs
Speaker 1: is already going to be out, Jadavion Clowney is almost
Speaker 1: certainly going.
Speaker 2: To be out.
Speaker 1: They're dealing with injuries to Zigianza and Bobby Wagner. Shaquille
Speaker 1: Griffin Kendricks are all banged up at this point. So
Speaker 1: it's unclear how healthy they're gonna be. And we saw
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake get going last week, Kyler Murray ran a tongue,
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks they allow more than four and a
Speaker 1: half yards per carry, So I think the Cardinals are
Speaker 1: going to be able to put up some points here
Speaker 1: and sold the Seahawks. Obviously, the Cardinals defense, particularly the
Speaker 1: pass defense, is just terrible. It's basically the worst in
Speaker 1: the league. And the Seahawks passing it's not crazy explosive though, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, Russell Wilson's amazing, but they just lost Josh Gordon.
Speaker 1: It's not like they're going to go out there and
Speaker 1: immediately like drive right down the field. They'll be able
Speaker 1: to run the ball as well. The Cardinals run defense
Speaker 1: isn't good neithers they are going to be points scored
Speaker 1: in this game. But I mean we saw last week, right,
Speaker 1: they dominated the Panthers, totally dominated, and then they were
Speaker 1: just kind of took their foot off the gas and
Speaker 1: they allowed the Panthers to cover. Depending on where you
Speaker 1: got the number, I got it at five and a
Speaker 1: half at one place, which was great, But I had
Speaker 1: at six and a half, which I felt confident in
Speaker 1: as well, and I lost that one. The Cardinals have
Speaker 1: covered in the majority of their games. That's usually because
Speaker 1: they're getting the big number. And in the end, what
Speaker 1: it really comes down to is this game really doesn't
Speaker 1: mean very much to Seattle. I mean, if they beat
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers next week, I think they win
Speaker 1: the division regardless of what the forty nine ers do
Speaker 1: against the Rams or what they do against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they're seating, and you know they're going for
Speaker 1: the bye with the Packers and the Saints. And again
Speaker 1: though Dave Cochin really hammered down the point that you know,
Speaker 1: when you look historically, seating does not seem to be
Speaker 1: all that much of a motive factor. When you're making
Speaker 1: the playoffs or you're winning the division, that means much more.
Speaker 1: Going for seeding, even when it comes to a buy,
Speaker 1: doesn't usually have that big of an impact. So I
Speaker 1: think the Seahawks are gonna in this game try to
Speaker 1: be a little careful with their injured players. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna push everything, and even if they jump
Speaker 1: out to a lead, I think they can take their
Speaker 1: foot off the gas. Nine and a half. It's a
Speaker 1: big number. So I think the Cardinals at the very
Speaker 1: least can back door cover.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you brought up a great point
Speaker 2: that the Seahawks aren't really based in their offense around
Speaker 2: explosive plays like they love just hammering the rock, they
Speaker 2: love running the ball, they love getting Chris Carson involved,
Speaker 2: you know, especially now that they lost for Sead Penny.
Speaker 2: And again, the only thing that scared me from taking
Speaker 2: the Cardinals because I'm also on the Cardinals on the
Speaker 2: Sports Gambling podcast. It's just that Seattle has a history
Speaker 2: of kind of like little brother in the Arizona Cardinals. Sure,
Speaker 2: in the same way that the Rams always play the
Speaker 2: Seahawks tough regardless of the year. It seems like Seattle
Speaker 2: always just kind of has Arizona's number. But the point,
Speaker 2: the diferential, the motivation, there's just so much going for Arizona,
Speaker 2: and especially at that giant number, Arizona has been sneaky
Speaker 2: with the back door at times this season. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm with you there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime you get to a number like that, where're
Speaker 1: approaching double digits, and always I'm like, Okay, I need
Speaker 1: to find a reason not to take this because I
Speaker 1: always lean towards the well. I mean, come on, and
Speaker 1: you look, it doesn't always. The Jets obviously didn't cover
Speaker 1: that giant number from last week, so you never know.
Speaker 1: But with double vision, I think.
Speaker 2: A division dogs. You know. Yeah, that's a strong trend.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's it's tough for me to go against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals here. All right, So let's recap. You're gonna
Speaker 1: take the Bucks getting three from the Texans, the Packers
Speaker 1: getting five and a half. I surprise the number has
Speaker 1: gotten to that high again. But Packer's getting five and
Speaker 1: a half from the Vikings, and the Eagles getting one
Speaker 1: and a half from the Cowboys. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Jets getting three from the Steelers, the Dolphins and the
Speaker 1: Bengals over forty six and a half, and the Cardinals
Speaker 1: getting nine and a half from the Seahawks. All right,

Speaker 1: a gambling problem called one eight hundred gambler. All right, John,
Speaker 1: let's move on to It's a trap, where we list
Speaker 1: the line that we are avoiding. What do you have?
Speaker 2: You know? I really liked this Denver team at times
Speaker 2: as a giant dog. I like them, I really like
Speaker 2: them against the Texans and that gigantic number A couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, I thought they were undervalue, but now
Speaker 2: I think the market's corrected a little too much. But
Speaker 2: they're going up against the Detroit lines. Detroit's getting six
Speaker 2: and a half. Oh man, I just want no part
Speaker 2: of this game. I mean, it's a really weird non
Speaker 2: conference road game. Again, I kind of like what I've
Speaker 2: seen out of a lock here, but it's a very
Speaker 2: limited sample size. Then on the other side, he got Detroit,
Speaker 2: who they just made it clear they're not going to
Speaker 2: fire their head coach, So I don't know how that's
Speaker 2: going to impact things. Six and a half feels like
Speaker 2: a lot for this Denver team who looked that bad
Speaker 2: against Kansas City. But yeah, I don't really want to
Speaker 2: take either team in this, so yeah, that's one to
Speaker 2: avoid for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when I first looked at it, I kind of
Speaker 1: like Denver a little bit just because I feel like,
Speaker 1: how is David Blow going to be able to move
Speaker 1: the ball on this offense? But you know, this may
Speaker 1: be sort of more of a narrative thing, but I
Speaker 1: feel like at this stage of the year, right when
Speaker 1: you've got these teams that are out of it, and
Speaker 1: you know, the Broncos come home after a road trip
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and they're probably just kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's the holiday season, right, they're just sort
Speaker 1: of getting fat and happy and just like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: feel like the intensity might not be there. So it
Speaker 1: was something that kind of moved me off. But yeah,
Speaker 1: a game like that is just not really a fun
Speaker 1: game to bet. And it's kind of very similar to
Speaker 1: the game that I'm avoiding, and that's the Chargers laying
Speaker 1: six and a half Raiders. I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: going to get from either of these teams at any
Speaker 1: given game. The Raiders had absolutely no business losing that
Speaker 1: game to Jacksonville last weekend. It was their final game
Speaker 1: in Oakland. They came out hot, and then they're just
Speaker 1: like all right, cool, cool, that's cool, We'll just hang
Speaker 1: back whatever. It was completely in hand. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: the Chargers are the least reliable team in the NFL
Speaker 1: right now. They're cable looking really really good at any
Speaker 1: given time or completely got awful, which they did the
Speaker 1: majority of the time. They were the sharp side of
Speaker 1: that game last week against the Bikes right out of
Speaker 1: the line.
Speaker 2: Seven seven turnovers. That's a I mean, that's a real
Speaker 2: oh geez, the Chargers, I feel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, I was all over the Vike gigs.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the public side. I'm willing
Speaker 1: to ride with the public at this point because there's
Speaker 1: just no way I think they're gonna do it. So again,
Speaker 1: it's I believe it's River's last game at home, you know,
Speaker 1: so you know he'll he'll go out there. Maybe they
Speaker 1: get up for it. But six and a half again
Speaker 1: a big number. I have no idea what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get from either of these two teams. So it's sort
Speaker 1: of like your pick six and a half, a big
Speaker 1: spread from two teams that I have no idea how
Speaker 1: motivated they are or what you're gonna see from either
Speaker 1: one of them. So I'm gonna avoid it. So you'll
Speaker 1: avoid the Broncos lank six and a half to the Lions,
Speaker 1: I'll avoid the Chargers lank six and a half to
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and we will both be happier for it.
Speaker 1: So before we go to our final segment, I want
Speaker 1: to mind everyone about our giveaway. It is a signed
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas Saints helmet. You can go to bettingpros dot

Speaker 1: no worries about that.

Speaker 1: a free five dollars voucher instantly. All right, John, let's
Speaker 1: finish up with top prop, your top prop bet of
Speaker 1: the week. What do you have?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Jamis Winston to get over three hundred
Speaker 2: up plus passing yards see it at minus one fourteen.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like all versions of this, three hundred
Speaker 2: and three fifty, four hundred four fifty. Just go all
Speaker 2: in on this because not only is Tampa Bay passing
Speaker 2: the ball well, but Houston they're passing defense twenty eighth
Speaker 2: in passing yards in the league, and if you look
Speaker 2: at their average per game two hundred ninety one passing
Speaker 2: yards per game the last three games, again Winston coming
Speaker 2: off four hundred and fifty yard back to back performances.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a little regression, but I like taking props
Speaker 2: where you can build a scenario for either team that
Speaker 2: still gets you into the prop. And so for me,
Speaker 2: I think even if the if the Bucks don't win somehow,
Speaker 2: or if they if they're getting blown out, I think
Speaker 2: they're still gonna be passing. If they're winning, I think
Speaker 2: it's gonna be because they're passing a bunch. So either way,
Speaker 2: I think Winston's gonna get his, especially when it comes
Speaker 2: to passing yards.
Speaker 1: Now, to be clear, the correct bet is James Winston
Speaker 1: over four hundred passing yards at plus five point fifty.
Speaker 1: That is the one we're gonna do. I'm gonna do it. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I like everything everything you said makes sense. Again. The
Speaker 1: one worry with it is the fact that he pretty
Speaker 1: much has nobody left to throw to. But I don't care.
Speaker 1: He's nine hundred and five yards away. I believe from
Speaker 1: breaking Peyton Manning's single season passing yards, Mark right, that's
Speaker 1: two games of four hundred and fifty yards or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of throwing, as you mentioned
Speaker 1: the Texans twenty six and Dvoa against the pass, So
Speaker 1: I do think they're gonna need points. They're gonna be throwing,
Speaker 1: So I love it. That's definitely a prop that I
Speaker 1: will be interested in. I'm also interested in at prop.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, Winston would have been my time prop
Speaker 1: had you not stolen it. So I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: But you know you've you've been, You've been a good guest.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna let you have the
Speaker 1: pass that on. So I'm gonna go with a less
Speaker 1: impressive prop, but still one that I'm gonna be playing,
Speaker 1: and that's Terry McLaurin. To go over one hundred receiving HOURDS,
Speaker 1: that's a plus one seventy, so you're getting, you know,
Speaker 1: close to two to one on your money. Janoris Jenkins
Speaker 1: has gone for the Giants. You can pass on them,
Speaker 1: particularly as their run defense has gotten a little bit
Speaker 1: stronger over the past several weeks. Now, I know Bill
Speaker 1: Callahan just wants to run the ball NonStop. But you
Speaker 1: have seen of late Dwayne Haskins actually playing a little
Speaker 1: bit better, and he and McLaurin are finally showing a
Speaker 1: little bit of the connection from college that everybody had
Speaker 1: kind of been waiting for. And he caught all five
Speaker 1: of his targets, and that's really what it was. I mean,
Speaker 1: sometimes Haskins just like missing him and it's just terrible
Speaker 1: to watch him. But you know they're getting you know,
Speaker 1: the efficiency is getting better. They're showing a little more
Speaker 1: of that connection. I think they're gonna be chasing points
Speaker 1: in this game. I think the Giants are gonna be
Speaker 1: able to put up I think Saquon looks close to
Speaker 1: being back to full strength. I think they have their
Speaker 1: full compliment of passing weapons outside of Evan Ingram, but
Speaker 1: the three receivers. So I think the Giants will put
Speaker 1: up points. I think the Redskins are going to need
Speaker 1: to try to ketch up to keep up with them.
Speaker 1: I think that in the end there's gonna be at
Speaker 1: least one or two big plays to McLaurin. So one
Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards at plus one seventy's I'll call that
Speaker 1: my second top prop because my first one is Winston,
Speaker 1: but I'll go to McLaurin over one hundred receiving yards
Speaker 1: at plus one seventy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that as well. I mean I got
Speaker 2: McLaurin and a bunch of my DFS lineups. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great matchup. And again, yeah, these yards after catch.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's just how bad the Eagles tackling is,
Speaker 2: but he's definitely been great for yards after catch as well.
Speaker 2: And yeah, especially against that Giants seconder, it's a great
Speaker 2: matchup for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially without Jenkins. And that is the thing I
Speaker 1: mean McLaurin is, you know, a type of guy who
Speaker 1: can take a short pass and take it to the
Speaker 1: house and build all those yards after the catch. So
Speaker 1: it is something I'm gonna be playing both of those,
Speaker 1: but I'll be honest, I do like yours a little
Speaker 1: bit better because I think I would have gone with that.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that is going to do it for today's show.
